Moreover, Bishop Guy's description of the rout of the assailants—which Mr Freeman assigned to this stage of the battle—agrees well with that of Baudri: Anglorum populus, numero superante, repellit Hostes inque retro compulit ora dari; Et fuga ficta prius fit tunc virtute coacta; Normanni fugiunt, dorsa tegunt clipei.

With its full charge of death each feature fraught, Such wondrous force the magic colours boast, From his own skill he starts in horror lost.
